Outlook:
“Upper Dublin’s season success will rely heavily early on the return of a talented skill group, led by the running of experienced seniors Anthony Williams and Tyler Marks. Junior QB Andrew Derr looks to build on his success from last season, while throwing to a talented group of returning receivers in TE Ryan Hopkins, FL, Kenny Piccari and SE Jeff Buchanan. Up front, captain Bill Kim will anchor an inexperienced but promising offensive line.
“Defensively UD will have to replace all-conference players Frank Yurick and Kaleel Nash, but return seven defensive players with varsity game experience anchored by Bill Kim in the middle. The defensive unit will bring some size and athleticism to the field this year and look to improve upon last year.
“Junior Kicker Eric Boyer has the potential to be one of the area’s finest all around kickers, handling all the kicking chores for Upper Dublin this season.”
